FAQS

If you have not been to a Shavata Studio before you will need a patch test for brow tinting & lash treatments, at least 48 hours before your appointment.

How long do treatments last?

They differ between each person. For instance, brow threading can last up to 4 weeks, but for some it may only be 2 weeks. Customers who have brow/lashing tinting can last up to 4 weeks, but those with finer hairs may only last up to 2 weeks.

Why is brow tinting beneficial?

Brow tinting is great for those who have recently changed their hair colour, noticed grey hairs or want thicker looking brows.

Why is lash tinting beneficial?

It is great for those with fair lashes. Eyelash tinting can add definition and structure to your entire face. It is also perfect for those who have an active lifestyle, eliminating to apply mascara everyday.

Why is threading beneficial?

Threading is an ancient method of hair removal which originated in the Indian subcontinent, spread through the Middle East and Far East, and is now gaining popularity in the West. With the mere use of a pure cotton thread, brow hairs are removed whilst creating a shape. The thread is rolled over untidy hairlines, and the hair is plucked from the follicle. Our Brow Artists are expertly trained to create the ultimate personalized “perfect arch” to frame your face. Unlike tweezing where a single hair is pulled out each time, threading removes an entire row of hair resulting in a straighter line. The top layers of skin are not peeled or traumatized leading to less irritation and damage to the skin. The entire face can be threaded, resulting in a smoother and younger look. Make-up glides on more easily when facial hair is fully removed.

Will threaded hair grow back thicker?

Threading actually helps slow down and reduce hair growth. Threaded hairs tend to grow back thinner, thus making it easier to remove and less painful when threaded. Tweezing just one time in between will reverse all that is achieved from threading and can further irritate follicles which can cause hair to become ingrown, coarser, and darker.

How can I re-grow my hair if I have overplucked?

Over-plucking not only runs the risk of losing your most flattering eyebrow shape, it can also lead to permanent hair loss. Always tweeze your brows in natural light using a large mirror for an overall realistic view, and a magnified hand mirror to help with the detail. Take a few hairs from each brow at a time – it’s easier than doing one and trying to copy it on the other side. If you make a mistake, grow it out – don’t try to correct it or you’ll end up plucking your brows to nothing. Brow hair takes eight to 13 weeks to grow, depending on your metabolism and age, so be patient and wait as long as you can before getting them shaped by an expert, who will analyse your features to find the best shape for you. A professional tint will make brows appear naturally thicker and fuller.

What is a lash lift and will it work on me?

A lash lift is a similar process to what you would expect with a lash perm, but the lift is created from the root. The eyelash is not curled, but raised, and stays in position for approximately 6-8 weeks. A lash lift is ideal for someone that doesn’t like the idea of lash extensions, or cannot have them. The result is immediate and will make you feel a million dollars!

How do I best maintain my lash lift?

There is no maintenance with a lash lift; simply avoid getting your lashes wet for 24 hours once you have them lifted. You can use Mascara as you normally would to enhance the lift even further! The process is simple, and takes no longer than 45 minutes to an hour. The eyelashes are set into shape and then conditioned to achieve an impressive look.

What are semi-permanent lashes – what results can be achieved?

Achieve longer, fuller, darker and voluminous lashes. Semi-Permanent Lash Extensions are a fantastic long term solution for bolder lashes without mascara. Whatever your current lash condition, be it sparse, or short you can “transform your lashes” to suit your lifestyle, and ooze glamour at all times. The lashes are applied one at a time using a specially formulated, semi-permanent glue that will not irritate the eye nor damage the natural lash.

How do I best maintain my semi-permanent lashes?

Do not cleanse eyes, shower, swim, use a steam or dry sauna for at least 12 hours after procedure, however 24 hours is advised for proper bonding.

How does the Brow strengthening oil work? Is it ok for sensitive skin?

The Brow Strengthener is made from 100% cold-pressed organic castor oil, derived from the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). The oil from the castor oil plant is a natural ingredient which is known for its nourishing properties, benefiting both brows and lashes and their follicles. It has an intense moisturising effect for the skin too. This makes it a product which has multiple benefits due to the Omega 9 fatty acids it contains which makes hair thicker and shinier.
